Musician's Creativity Lab worked hard to make sure we could bring you this amazing unique opportunity to learn from, be inspired by, and improvise with one of the best.
This Lab will walk you through the Bob's process of creating his beautiful tunes starting from the motifs that he uses all the way through to the melody-making process.
In addition to his best hits, Bob will lecture about composition, arrangement, and performance using entirely new songs specially written for this lesson!
Bob says that rather than focusing on your technical playing skills, it’s more important to convey your soul and love to the audience through the music and the compositions.
So don’t just watch the video lessons, practice your solo skills while Bob accompanies you.
In this Creativity Lab, you’ll get a chance to play some of Bob James’ tunes, along with Bob himself and get in some great improvisation.
